The controversy surrounding Bryan Singer doesn't look set to have too huge of an impact on X-Men: Days of Future Past's North American opening, as tracking indicates a debut of $125 million during the Memorial Day weekend, making the most successful instalment in the franchise yet!

Variety reports that X-Men: Days of Future Past is on track to debut at the North American box office with $125 million when it opens in time for the memorial day weekend come May 23rd. With a lay and date worldwide release (including the increasingly profitable China), the "inbetweenquel" looks set to be the biggest X-Men movie yet for Twentieth Century Fox. X-Men: The Last Stand earned $123 million when it opened during the same weekend back in 2006, but it's likely that this one will be even bigger. With analysts predicting a domestic total haul of $250 million, X-Men: Days of Future Past would become the franchise's highest grossing instalment. X-Men: First Class made only $146 million, but that was after a couple of not so great movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine. With the Matthew Vaughn helmed prequel proving to be a success with fans and critics alike, not to mention The Wolverine, it's no wonder that this one looks set to be so popular (especially with the extremely appealing cast). Could the allegations against Bryan Singer impact this?

I doubt this movie will do better than ASM2, With Cap having come out not too long ago and Spidey this past weekend the GA will have had enough of heroes for now. Plus throw in Godzilla and the audience is shrinking and shrinking.

I don't think the audience is fatigued, but I don't see how it will make that much opening weekend. There will be way too much competition: Neighbors (Every one is saying how awesome it is) ASM2, Godzilla (Something Different And something New-ish in this decade), and Cap 2 will still be in theaters. X-Men DOFP will definitely take the #1 spot while making a crap-ton of loot, but $125 Mill...? Please.
